Diode side pumped AO Q switched TmHo:LuLF laser

A diode-side-pumped Tm,Ho:LuLiF laser at 2-1m wavelength obtained in a ring resonator and its amplification experiment are reported. At the maximum pump energy of 4.7 J available for the oscillator, the output energy per pulse for the oscillator decreases from 904 to 483 mJ in free running mode, and
